Well, I went and got myself a little kitty. Well, he isn't that little. His name is Lucky and he is about 4 months old. One of my best friend's mother has a cat and it had kittens a while back. My friend called me and asked if I wanted to come over and look at them and take one home. I said no at first, but the more I thought about it the more I wanted one. I was mainly concerned about how much it would cost to get him fixed but her mom said she would pay to get him fixed and his first round of shots. What?? I can do that. I called her back and told her I would come look at them. I think they were only a week old when I saw them the first time. THEY WERE SO CUTE! How could someone just walk away from those precious little things. I picked one out and then had to then be patient while she scheduled him to get fixed. It finally happened last week. Boys are so much easier to take care of after they get fixed then girls. When I brought him home he was jumping up on the bed and running. I know that with girls the procedure is a little more invasive. He is all good. He is so loving and loves to be around people. Everywhere I go, he goes. He doesn't like me to be out of his sight, unless he is sleeping. I have to watch my step most of the time so I don't step on him. The only issue I have is that he is very messy when it comes to his litter box. This is a recent thing too. Over the weekend I noticed that the area around his litter box was covered in litter. I thought maybe it was just an accident but after I cleaned it up it was like that again the next morning. I guess I am just going to have to get used to this. We had 2 cats growing up and none of them were this messy. I can see a little bit flying out but not this much. I think he might be doing this on purpose. Yeah, probably not. All in all I love having him around. I feel bad that I have to leave him home alone all day, but I guess he can deal with it...got no choice. Guess what??? THANKSGIVING IS ALMOST HERE!!!! Can you tell I'm excited?? Only a couple more days of work left. I know they are going to be really long days, but they will go by and then it will be turkey day! I have a feeling everyone who reads this thinks I am nuts because I am so into Thanksgiving. I am really not that crazy, but if you think I am, I can live with it. :) Peace out!!

Life's lessons

Look at me, 2 posts in 1 week. Don't get excited because this won't happen very often. I just wanted to say that I have been learning a lot lately. I have a hard time just letting things go or roll off my back, but recently, with a lot of prayer and hard work I have been getting a lot better at it. I have a friend that I haven't even known for a year who has kind of done me wrong these past couple of months and I have had a hard time getting over/through it. She was a person I opened my heart to, and that doesn't happen very often. I really think sometimes I have to realize that people have stuff going on in their lives that I don't know or shouldn't know about. Sometimes it is really crappy stuff. Ya know, sometimes I can be a pain in the rear because my life isn't peachy so I really need to give my friends that same benefit and not take it personally. What I have learned is that just because things aren't going the way I want them to doesn't mean they have completely fallen apart. I still love my friend dearly because she came into my life when I needed her the most. She brought out a side of me that had been hidden for a long time. I am thankful for the bond that we shared and hope to be close to her again one day. She is a beatiful person and i respect her in so many ways. If she reads this, which I don't know if she does, I hope she realizes it is her I am talking about. I am really thankful for you and what you brought to my life. Anyway, on a lighter note, THANKSGIVING IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!! I seriously can't wait. Thats all for now. :)

I think I had a very nice weekend. On Friday I went to dinner with some friends and then on Saturday I went to a baby shower for one of my dear friends from high school. No sleeping in on Saturday because the shower was at 10am.....thanks Lindsey. :) I figured I would know a couple of people at the shower but oddly enough I knew a lot more then I thought. Of course some of my high school buddies were there. I was really happy to see my friend Heather, who lives in Colorado. I was sure she wouldn't be there. So happy. It is always nice to see the high school girls. After high school everyone has moved here there and everywhere. I like that we try and get together at least once a year. They have played a huge role in my life and I love those girls more than anything. So my mom called me on Tuesday and said that she was going to be out of town for a couple of weeks because her and her husband were going to Hawaii. WHAT????? They booked the vacation on Tuesday and left on Thursday. Um, okay, how did they do that because they are not money bags. One of her friends had a time share that needed to be used so they basically just paid for their flights and anything extra. I was very jealous. Sometime before I die I will go there. Beware because I might be that 80 year old woman in a bikini on the beach in Maui. :) Don't think I wouldn't do that because I sure would. I am so ready for Thanksgiving. I should celebrate that everyday because I have so much to be thankful for.....and I like turkey a lot. ha ha. I really am excited about the couple of days I get off of work. Okay, lets be honest, that is actually the most thing I am excited about. I love my work but it is draining sometimes. In fact, I want a nap right now. Yeah right, I wish. Peace.

Well, nothing really huge has gone on in the last couple of weeks. I got to go and see my grandparents last weekend which was so fun. My family is great. I did receive a phonecall the other day which scared me to pieces. My sister and I were supposed to see a movie on Tuesday and I got a call from her around 3:30 saying she had to cancel. I asked her if everything was okay and she told me that sometime that morning she started to get a huge pain on the side of her belly. She said it was like no pain she had ever felt before. Of course she was crying because the pain was so bad so she go somebody to watch her class and went down to the nurse. While she was telling me this my heart was pounding because I was scared for the baby. She ended up having to call her doctor and the dr. said that it was mainly because her belly was streching. She called her husband and they immediately went home and took it easy. I know that Lindsay was terrified because, this being her first time being pregnant, she had no idea what was going on. I spoke with her yesterday and she said she was feeling a lot better. Oh, and by the way, the movie we were going to go see was High School Musical 3. Go ahead and laugh, but I love those movies. My mom went with me instead and it was magical. :) I really need to go to the store because I have like 3 baby showers in the next couple of weeks and have not bought a single thing. It is not like me to be so late with getting gifts. Oh well, this weekend will be the shopping weekend. Fun stuff.
